OK, well that makes sense. Clearly 2000AD has appropriated Mr Joyce in the series, Sinister Dexter... which doesn't surprise me in the least. Finnegan Sinister and Ramone Dexter are two bullet monkeys from a future Europe called Downlode.

And the moral of this off topic rant is, I should be reading the classics, not comics !

Okay, thanks for all the help so far. I have most of the parts, and am waiting on the rest.

One pretty naive question, the underside vs the components side: is the picture of the underside represent the flipped board, i.e. are those cuts going to be on the opposite side when I flip it over, or are they sitting where they would be looking at the board from the component side?

Yep... flip left to right, not top to bottom. Not sure what the general rule is, or if there indeed is one. I probably should have indicated this on the diagrams with an arrow on the top of the board or something. Usually with stripboard diagrams you can work out what the deal is by looking at the components and the striboard diagram.

Good luck with the building! Try the Krunkus WSG stripboard if you like this device....

EDIT: Not sure if you know how to do the cuts but I'll explain anyway.... Use a 3MM drill bit and a pin vice if you have one... or a slow cordless drill would be ok. Drill just enough to break the track. Mark out the hole to drill with a permanent marker pen first and double check before you drill! Looking at the underside of the stripboard, just mark the holes/cuts exactly as in the diagram.

Has anyone managed to work out the component numeration on the version with the audio input yet?

hey lectroid, apar from being a little unorthodox in regards to numeration of parts the shem for the cacophonator with input is pretty understandable and it should be easy to build one of these on perf board,no?

I will fix my basic version today and then maybe perf up the advanced version with inout from the layouts posted here.

thanks a lot you guys. i looked over it and couldn't find anything else, but evidently that's not saying much. i put a link to this topic on the page so everyone will know you guys helped. see any more?

rosch thanks for the heads up! the advanced cacophonator from subtle noise maker is already perfed - but the wiring is a major pita.

the led lightens up - so that is a good sign - also no smoke so far

I will have to wait for some on-off-on switches from banzai, which can take ages... maybe I will just continue with some on-on switches and skip some cap options. the amount of cabeling drives me insane though...

judging from the 4.7uF capacitor used it should oscillate at LFO speeds. I don't have a clue why it is not connected to anything.
The only logical explanation I can see is that arthur harrisons wants to show you what you could do with the 2 leftover inverters on the 40106.
Another possiblity might be that it produces crosstalk in the 40106 making it behave in strange ways._________________There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

yeah RV5 is a starve pot. C7 basically stores current so that when the power source is disconnected, the capacitor slowly discharges. it's really wacky, you really have to hear it to understand it. the charge switch is just a momentary switch that temporarily connects the power source in turn charging and discharging C7.
